Orange County Electronics Show

The electronics industrycommonly thought to be comprised of pocket-protecting gadget whoresis a club just as elitist as any hipster dance party . . . only electro dudes of the keypad and USB sort rely more on brain activity than fancy footwork.
This years Orange County Electronics Show brings Methode Electronics, purveyors of Bus Bar (no, not the godsend anti-anxiety pill) systems and torque-sensing solutions, to present a sci-fi showroom on wheels. An electronics social will follow a keynote given by Digi-Key Vice President Chris Beeson, and as an added (and sort of inexplicable) bonus, Jeff Cook, Grammy-winning guitarist for country-rock group Alabama, will be on hand signing autographs and showing his love for all things that go beep-boop-beep.
Sept. 10-11, 10 a.m., 2008
